About The Position

Skip-Line is hiring a collaborative Electrical Engineer to develop electronics for pavement-marking equipment. The company builds electronic controls, sensors, and embedded software for precision machines used to mark highways, roads, and runways. The role is based in Adams Center, New York, and requires residence in Northern or Central New York with the ability to commute to the office on a hybrid schedule. The base salary is $78,000–$135,000, based on experience and demonstrated capabilities. The Electrical Engineer will design, build, and test electronics for next-generation hardware, working with embedded, product, and production teams. The work includes circuit, board, and electrical-interface design; prototype development and board bring-up; troubleshooting; preparing products for EMC/EMI compliance testing and coordinating with outside test labs; solving issues across hardware and firmware; evaluating compliance requirements and design tradeoffs; and improving production testability and troubleshooting. Skip-Line describes the role as an opportunity to influence technology used on pavement-marking vehicles and help deliver reliable, market-ready equipment. The company offers access to modern tools and an innovative, collaborative team, and encourages applicants to describe a hardware problem they solved when applying.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Hands-on PCB design and board bring-up experience.
Hands-on EMC/EMI compliance experience, including preparing products for testing, working with outside laboratories, and converting failed results into design fixes.
Working knowledge of microcontrollers, sensors, and communication protocols such as CAN.
Ability to read schematics, work with electronic components, and use oscilloscopes and multimeters.
Methodical debugging approach: gather evidence, isolate the cause, fix it, and verify the fix.
Ownership, sound judgment, and clear communication.

Nice To Haves

Experience taking products to an EMC/EMI test lab, encountering a failed scan, and identifying the cause.
Engineering curiosity; prior experience with pavement-marking trucks is not required.

Responsibilities

Design and build circuits, boards, and electrical interfaces for controllers, sensors, and connected pavement-marking systems.
Build prototypes, perform board bring-up, and troubleshoot hardware problems.
Plan and prepare for compliance testing, determine applicable product requirements, prepare hardware for EMC/EMI testing, coordinate with outside test labs, and address failed test results.
Collaborate with embedded engineers to investigate system behavior and solve problems across the hardware and firmware boundary.
Evaluate compliance requirements, recommend priorities, explain tradeoffs among design changes, testing, cost, and ship dates, and decide when to act independently or involve others.
Partner with production teams on testability, component choices, and troubleshooting to improve manufacturing, testing, and repair of boards.
